As you know, all schools participate
in State-wide testing in regards to the parameters set forth under “No Child
Left behind” (NCLB).Each year, we are
required to report out what those results are.The official results published by the State can be foundherewhile listed below is further
explanation of our AYP results.

MEHS did not make AYP this year for
the first time ever.While we raised our
scores significantly from 2010 to 2011, the AMO (SBA passing bar) also went
up.We made AYP in all areas except in
LEP in Language Arts.

In
summary:

·The
AMO went up from the 09-10 school year to 10-11 school year. (The AMO will
continue to go up each year until the passing bar reaches 100% in 2014)

·The
Language Arts AMO went up from 77.18% to 82.88% for the 10-11 school year.

·The
Math AMO went up from 66.09% to 74.57% for the 10-11 school year.

·For the 10-11 school year, we raised our proficiency in Language
Arts 1% - up to 81%.

·For the 10-11 school year,
we raised our proficiency in Math 12% - up to
73%.

·For the 10-11 school year,
LEP (Limited English Proficient) we lowered our
proficiency in Language Arts 3% - down to 65%.

·For the 10-11 school year,
LEP (Limited English Proficient) we raised our
proficiency in Math by 7% - up to 60%.

·Our
LEP population in grades 9 &10 for the 10-11 school year was 46 students
out of a total testing population of 175 for grades 9 & 10.This demographic of 46 LEP students did not
perform as well as expected in Language Arts, so therefore we did not make AYP
in this area.

the State average.Science is still
below the State average, but they have risen dramatically from the students’ 8th
